ELEVATING THE CONSCIOUSNESS: A visitor asked the
Master, "Why is it that sometimes the consciousness
rises to a high level, during which we can see and
experience many things, and then it comes down again?
Why is it that we cannot retain the consciousness at
the same level?"

The Master replied, "During the time when the mind is
Sattwic you get this elevated consciousness. But due
to the forces of Rajas and Tamas and the
undercurrents and desires in the mind, your
consciousness comes down. Do more Sadhana. Develop
dispassion. The more the desires are thinned out, the
more the mind will be filled with Sattwa. It will be
steady like a light in a windless place. During
holidays you can come and remain here and enjoy
Satsang and seclusion. You can do more Sadhana. A
little observance of silence, a little Pranayama, a
little seclusion--these are all aids."

"The Divine Name is God Himself manifest as a
spiritual force. God and His Name are one. He who
clings to the Divine Name verily clings to the Lord
Himself. The Divine Name shall take you across the
ocean of Samsara. The Divine Name shall bestow upon
you freedom from births and deaths." - Swami
Sivananda
